Dr .William Cory Foulk. From the United States of America (USA) is a
Ironman Triathlon competitor. He participated in the European Triathlon
Competition held in Frankfurt in July 2006 seven months Post Hip Resurfacing
Surgery in ARCH, Chennai. Some of the pictures from the competition can be
viewed below. |

The World Championships is
held in Kailua Kona, Hawaii each October. This was the third Ironman
distance triathlon I attempted this year (post-op); I failed to finish the
first in July due to dehydration (that was in Frankfurt, Germany, and is the
European Championship) but had a very good bike and a pretty good run going.
The second was in Honolulu, Hawaii two weeks later, in August 2006, and I
not only finished but won my division and qualified for the World
Championships.
The hip is significantly better than it has been for years - absolutely no
pain, a much better range of motion - as you can see from the cycling photo,
you have to bring your knee to your chest 80 times per minute - for 6 hours!
I am noticing much better power as the tendons seem to finally be recovering
from years of chaffing across that joint. Great news!
I have been invited to compete in the Ultraman World Championships the last
weekend of November, and expect to place in the top ten overall in that
event, which is longer then a regular Ironman triathlon. I feel confident
that I will be on equal footing with the other competitors throughout.
Thank you again for your efforts in getting me here, Aloha, Cory. |

This is the 2006 Ironman
World Championships held October 21, 2006 - 10 months to the day of my
procedure!
I had a wonderful time all day, and had no difficulty completing the
distances of 2.4 miles swimming, 112 miles bicycling, and 26.2 miles
running, despite difficult weather conditions throughout the day. My time
was 90 minutes faster than last years time, despite the fact that i was
taking it very easy so as to not undo any of your fine handiwork!
I expect next year to be back as competitive as I ever was, with absolutely
no concession to the BHR hip . I had absolutely no pain before, during, or
after this event.
Thank you again for correcting a once debilitating condition, Aloha, Cory. |
